Below is another fine piece I received from Brother Ken Baril with his
best wishes for a Healthy, Happy, and safe 2011. With his permission I will add
my name to what he wrote to wish the same to you and your loved ones. I’m sure
you will enjoy reading the following by an unknown writer. Thanks for submitting
it Brother Ken! – Ed.
NEW YEAR
I enter my Masonic New Year with the understanding that I am making a fresh
start. I begin by discarding thoughts, attitudes, and habits that are not
compatible with an excellent life. I let go of whatever caused past
discouragement, disappointment, or disagreement. I know that seemingly negative
outcomes are desires or goals that are yet to be fulfilled. I am open and
receptive to new ideas, activities, and relationships.
Each day, I can follow a fresh plan of fulfillment. I act on divine ideas
that I receive in moments of prayer, and inspiration. These ideas flow through
wholesome, positive, thoughts. As I use creative thinking to build, upon divine
ideas, my activities and my abilities are enhanced. Therefore, I enter this New
Year with optimism, joy, and enthusiasm.
